New Toro Rosso STR4

Today Toro Rosso STR4 has been launched. The car is a collaboration between Red Bull Technology and Toro Rosso and is fitted with a Ferrari V8 engine.

The drivers will again be two Sebastians, Bourdais and Buemi. The team was bought back by Red Bull owner, Dietrich Mateschitz during November last year.

Last year Toro Rosso took the best out of fast Ferrari engines and beaten their own expectations again and again. The team driver of 2008 Sebastian Vettel even won teams home grand prix at Monza.

“The 2008 season was good in terms of our on-track performance, which, it’s fair to say, exceeded our expectations, with our biggest ever haul of points, a pole position and a win. It’s going to be tough to live up to that this year. While the rules have changed, within the team we can rely on a good level of stability, as all the key players on the technical side have been in place for some time now and so understand how to make progress.” said Franz Tost
